CY8CPROTO-063-BLE PSOC 6 BLE PROTOTYPING KIT
CYPRESS

You can get the software you need for the CY8CPROTO-063-BLE (PSoC 6 BLE Prototyping Kit) from Infineon’s (formerly Cypress) official toolchains. Here’s how:

✅ Recommended Software / Tools

1. ModusToolbox™
   This is Infineon’s primary development environment for PSoC 6, including drivers, middleware, and board support packages. (Infineon)
   
   

   • You can download ModusToolbox from Infineon’s “Evaluation Boards / Tools” site. (Infineon)
     
     

   • The CY8CPROTO-063-BLE board is supported with ModusToolbox. (rs-online.com)
     
     

   • For example, version 3.1 is referenced in the CY8CPROTO-063-BLE Zephyr board docs. (Zephyr Project Documentation)
     
     

2. PSoC Creator
   This is Cypress’s older Windows-only IDE. Some example code for the CY8CPROTO-063-BLE kit may reference PSoC Creator (e.g. example projects). (Manuals+)
   
   

   • You can download PSoC Creator from Infineon / Cypress under “PSoC Software / SDK” pages. (Infineon)
     
     

3. Other Utilities
   
   

   • PSoC Programmer: for flashing, especially older workflows. The kit’s documentation mentions requiring PSoC Programmer version 3.27.3 or later. (Manuals+)
     
     

   • KitProg / kit debugger firmware loader: in some cases, especially if the board uses KitProg2 firmware, you might need to upgrade to KitProg3 via a firmware loader tool (fw-loader) included in ModusToolbox. (my.avnet.com)
     
     

🛠 Steps to Download & Install

1. Visit the Infineon evaluation board page for CY8CPROTO-063-BLE → there is a “DOWNLOAD – ModusToolbox™ Software” link. (Infineon)
   
   

2. Download the appropriate ModusToolbox installer (for your OS: Windows, macOS, Linux).
   
   

3. Install it. During installation, it will include:
   
   

   • Board Support Package (BSP) for your kit
     
     

   • Peripheral Driver Library (PDL)
     
     

   • Middleware stacks including Bluetooth, USB, etc.
     
     

   • The fw-loader / KitProg firmware upgrade tool
     
     

4. If your board’s KitProg is at an older version (KitProg2), use fw-loader to upgrade to KitProg3 so that debugging/flashing works correctly. (Zephyr Project Documentation)
   
   

5. (Optional) If you want, install PSoC Creator (for Windows) and PSoC Programmer, especially if you want to run example projects provided in that format.
